Definitions

  • the present invention relates to caulks for caulking e.g. windows and other building objects installed into the outer walls of buildings, wherein it is desirable to create a water resistant seal between building object and wall, which is at the same time easy to apply, water resistant yet does not discolor due to fungicidal growth.
  • the construction element arrives prefabricated with a dimension which is smaller by a significant margin (often dictated by governmental standards), leaving a gap between the prefabricated construction element and the building proper. While this is advantageous as it eases the insertion of the prefabricated construction element into the building and minimizes any subsequent adaptation, the joints between the element and the building proper must necessarily be closed prior to human use of the finished building.
  • caulking The process of closing such joints between building elements is known as caulking and the materials used are considered caulks.
  • the function of caulking is to provide thermal insulation, and control of water penetration and of noise mitigation.
  • caulks were either mortar or plasto-elastic materials such as e.g. pitch.
  • plasto-elastic materials such as e.g. pitch.
  • sealants are ubiquitously used in the building industry.
  • plasto-elastic materials have the advantage over mortar that they are easy to apply, normally using a handheld caulking gun, and will retain a fluid-tight joint seal over many years all the while permitting the different construction materials the freedom to become displaced relative to each other with the varying weather conditions experienced by the building during the lifetime of the sealant.
  • caulk such as e.g. silicone, and acrylic sealants.
  • a sealant is made of elastomeric materials that typically allow movement of 25% to 50% of the width of the joint.
  • Silicone sealants form a durable, water-tight seal, but are not typically paintable.
  • Some silicone sealants are made to be paintable with certain types of paint such as water or oil-based paints. Other sealants are paintable.
  • Sealants are commonly sold in cartridges which are loaded into a pistol-like caulking gun (opening at the side) or barrel gun (opening at the end) for application.
  • the caulk can be pressed into the joint so that it can bond with the materials on both sides, and also be smoothed.
  • the time it takes for a chemical sealant to become a sealing rubber is known as the curing time and varies by temperature and humidity. It is an advantage of modern sealants that they bond well to the various surfaces encountered in modern building construction materials.
  • a problem of modern plasto-elastic sealant materials when used as caulks compared to mortar is leakage of plasticizers over time. This reduces the strength of the seal and can lead to costly and time consuming re-caulking of the joint.
  • Another problem compared to mortar of modern plasto-elastic sealant materials when used as caulks is the low diffusivity of the sealant material for water.
  • a further problem of modern sealants is their relative high cost per volume. This repeatedly creates the need for filling the intermediate volume between the building objects with cheaper filling material, typically an insulating material, prior to application of the sealant. This adds an additional handling step in the construction process, requiring additional man power and man time, which is an unnecessary added cost. Accordingly, there is further the need for a caulk, which is insulating yet less expensive compared to modern sealants.
  • the present inventors suggest the use of a composite caulk comprising cellulose insulation, perlite, a particulated wood material having a particle size below 2 mm, a particulated fire retardant bark material having at least one axis of length with a dimension below 2 mm and a polyvinyl-acetate based aqueous dispersion adhesive; and wherein the composite caulk forms a heterogeneous caulk which can be dispensed using a handheld caulking gun.

  • US 3,468,414 it is known to make instant paper mache which comprises perlite as a mechanical binder or filler for enhancing the porosity of the paper mache following its ultimate usage and drying.
  • the compositions of US 3, 468, 414 contain in percentage by weight: Paper (80% newspaper, 20% magazine) 45.7-47.2%, art or molding plaster 16.6-17.2%, perlite 9.7-17.1%, borated dextrin 5.6-7.9%, salt 4.3-6.6%, starch 4.3-11.1%, and carboxy methyl cellulose 4.2-5.7%; and were found suitable for making simple preformed building elements, such as e.g. bricks.

  • Wood is a porous and fibrous structural tissue found in the stems and roots of trees and other woody plants. It has been used for thousands of years for both fuel and as a construction material. It is an organic material, a natural composite of cellulose fibers (which are strong in tension) embedded in a matrix of lignin, which resists compression. In the context of the present disclosure, wood (while sometimes defined as only the secondary xylem in the stems of trees) is defined more broadly to include the same type of tissue elsewhere such as in the roots of trees or shrubs. The present invention utilizes wood as a composite filler to add tensional strength and resilience against compression.

  • One way of obtaining such particulated wood material could be by using sawdust, which is a cheap and abundant surplus material from the wood and carpentry industries.
  • the skilled person will understand that some fraction of the particulated wood material can be larger than 2 mm without influencing the quality and flow properties of both the fresh as well as the hardened caulk.
  • Particles smaller than 1 mm influence the caulk very little, however it is preferable that the majority of wood particles have sizes in the range of 1 mm to 2 mm in order to maximize the influence of the particulated wood on the structural properties of the hardened caulk.
  • a preferred range as measured by sieving shall have at least 80%, preferably 90%, of all wood particles in the range from 1 to 2 mm.
  • the source of wood used in the present invention No particular limitation is placed on the source of wood used in the present invention.
  • two or more sources of wood may be present in the composite caulks of the invention without influencing the final product. It has been found that in order to optimize the composite caulk, wood from so-called softwood (such as elder wood) is less preferable, while wood from so-called medium hardness wood (such as pinewood, birch, beech) or hardwood (such as oak, teak) are more suitable. Particulated wood, which is naturally fire retardant is preferred.
  • Particulated wood is present in the composite caulks of the present invention in an amount based on weight/total weight of between 15 to 25%, more preferably between 17 to 23%, and most preferably around 20%.
  • Bark is the outermost layers of stems and roots of woody plants. Plants with bark include trees, woody vines, and shrubs. Bark refers to all the tissues outside of the vascular cambium and is a nontechnical term. It overlays the wood and consists of the inner bark and the outer bark.

  • a preferred range as measured by sieving shall have at least 80%, preferably at least 90%, of all wood particles in the range from 1 to 2 mm.
  • Cork is an impermeable, buoyant material, a prime-subset of bark tissue that is harvested for commercial use primarily from Quercus suber (the Cork Oak), which is endemic to southwest Europe and northwest Africa.
  • Cork is composed of suberin, a hydrophobic substance, and because of its impermeable, buoyant, elastic, and fire retardant properties, it is used in a variety of products, the most common of which is for wine stoppers.

  • Handheld caulking guns are well-known in the art. They permit a person so desiring to dispense a viscous liquid, composition or complex fluid from a container, wherein the viscous liquid is contained, and onto a surface.
  • the container usually has a moveable bottom and usually an oppositely positioned opening in the container.
  • the caulking gun exerts a pressure through a piston action on the moveable bottom of the container, which causes a displacement of the bottom and of the viscous liquid in the container, causing the viscous liquid to leave the container as long as the piston action is maintained on the bottom.
  • Such caulking guns are used on viscous liquids of a broad viscosity range.
  • the viscosity of the liquid is determined by the liquid's intended use and is not limited by the construction of the caulking guns.
  • the requirement that the composite caulk of the invention shall form a heterogeneous caulk which can be dispensed using a handheld caulking gun shall therefore be understood broadly as being a composite caulk which requires the use of a handheld caulking gun for dispensing, and therefore that the handheld caulking gun must be compressible by a person of normal strength, yet not being so liquid that upon application into a joint or gap in a building, the composite caulk of the invention will lack the necessary viscosity to remain in place in the joint during hardening, i.e.

  • the caulks of examples 5 and 6 were used to joint three sets of two bricks together; total of six samples; and stored in a climate chamber for 28 days at 20°C at 65% RH.
  • the average static load to cause disjoining was measured at 30.2 kg/joint ⁇ 4.1 kg/joint; which is comparable to the binding strength of cement.
  • Disjoining was primarily in the caulk (68% ⁇ 7%) with less than 10% of all disjoining being in the adhesive contact zone between caulk and brick, thus indicating a strong adhesion between caulk and brick wherein the strength of the joint is primarily determined by the rupture strength of the caulk and not by the rupture strength of the bond between caulk and brick.
  • planks with caulks were placed in an outdoors, open gateway, thereby simulating an installation of a window frame in a new build house.
  • the assembly was subjected to the weather conditions as is (autumn in Denmark).
  • the experiment showed that a relatively homogeneous drying and hardening of the caulk took place over the observation period without the caulks retracting from contact with the surfaces of the planks.
  • the caulks as described herein are suitable for joining wooden window frames to bricks as intended, since the caulks will neither disjoin from bricks nor wood within the rupture strength of the caulk itself.
